Breaking Bad

17. Vamanos Pest Control

Albuquerque, NM

Book Now

After the destruction of the super lab, during which Walt yells "Vamanos!" to get the crew to leave, Walt, Jesse, and a reluctant Mike go into business together. The only problem is that they have nowhere to cook. Walt and Jesse don't want to cook in another RV, and Walt pushes hard for a place in town. When Saul remarks that an in-town cook will be difficult Walt emphatically states, "If Gus can manage it, so can we." Saul does what Saul does and finds a crooked fumigation business called 'Vamanos Pest Control,' where the employees use the fumigation process to scope houses for later burglaries. But when Walt and company buy the place the burglaries go out the window and cooking meth in the fumigated houses is the order of business. The actual location was filmed at an industrial site located at 2010 Ridgecrest Dr. SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108. This is where Walt, Jesse, and Mike keep their office and where Mike zip ties Walt to the radiator after he tries to steal the barrel of methylamine. But Walt burns through his bonds, and part of his wrist and escapes with the methylamine, much to Mike's chagrin. [Photo Credit: Steve Snowden]
